Question

Perfect Competition and Monopoly Problems
1. Suppose the typical firm in a perfectly competitive industry has the following long-run total
cost function:
TC = 240Q – 6Q2 + 0.08Q*|
What is the long-run price for product Q?
2. Stanley Smith has a soft drink concession monopoly at Fort Tippecanoe, Indiana, County
Fair. He believes his total cost for supplying the drinks will be
TC = 800 + 0.2Q + 0.0001Q?
If the County Fair Board tells him he must charge $0.80 and demand for the drinks during
the fair is given by the demand curve
Q = 5000 – 2500P
determine the following:
(a) The number of drinks sold and Stanley's total profit at the fixed price of $0.80 per drink.
(b) Stanley's profit-maximizing output, price, and profit if he were allowed to set his own
price instead of having to charge $0.80.

Suppose that an industry is characterized as follows: C = 100 + 2q2 each firm’s total cost function MC = 4q firm’s marginal cost function P = 90 – 2Q industry demand curve MR = 90 – 4Q industry marginal revenue curve If this industry is a monopoly, how many units of output will the firm produce? (fractions of output are possible) A. 11.25 B. 20 C. 15 D. 10
These are statements comparing monopoly with perfect competition. Which of the following statements is/are false? Select all that apply. A. A a perfectly competitive industry faces a horizontal straight line demand curve whereas a monopoly faces a downward sloping demand curve. B. A perfectly competitive firm faces a small fraction of the industry demand curve whereas a monopoly faces the entire market demand curve. C. A perfectly competitive firm can only set quantities; a monopoly can set both price and quantity, although once it chooses a price (quantity), the other variable, quantity (price), is determined by the demand curve it faces. D. A perfectly competitive equilibrium is efficient; a monopoly equilibrium is inefficient. E. A perfectly competitive firm necessarily earns zero economic profit in a long run equilibrium; a monopoly typically earns a super-normal profit in a long run equilibrium.
Only typed answer Using the information in the "Botox Revisited" application, determine how much Allergan loses by being a single-price monopoly rather than a perfectly price-discriminating monopoly. Assume there are no fixed costs. By not price discriminating, Allergan loses $____million per year. (Round your answer to the nearest million.)
Only typed answer If a monopoly faces an inverse demand curve of p= 210−Q, has a constant marginal and average cost of $90,and can perfectly price discriminate, what is its profit? What are the consumer surplus, welfare, and dead weightloss? How would these results change if the firm were a single-price monopoly? Profit from perfect price discrimination (π) is $ _____ (Enter your response as a whole number.)
